Default OK Picts of the 20" Auto Couture Magnifique...

Did a test fitment on the GS lastnight, it was getting dark so I couldn't take any picts. So I went home for lunch and snapped some, the weather was overcast....Anyways...

Specs:
AutoCouture Magnifique, Silver w/Polished Lip (three piece)
20x8.5+25 (60mm lip) 245.35.20 Bridgestone S03
20x10.0+32 (81mm lip) 275.30.20 Bridgestone S03


Side view, will lower it some more after I do the shaving of the fenders and do a negative -1.5 or -2 to the camber.



Straight on front view, wheels really don't stick out that much.



Rear view...alittle blurry




Two of the rides.



Gotta thank Gene for the Wheels and the smooth transaction.

Looks good. Are you using coilovers? It will look better like you said, when you shave the fenders and drop it alittle more.

Damn bro, +25 offset in the front with 245, thats really aggressive ! I am not sure only doing -1 or -2 on the camber will be enough.. I have +33 offset in the rear on 275 tucking and I shaved my whole fender, so the back I know it can be done, but the front is real aggressive.. Good job on doing this and the wheels look nice !

Let us know how it goes.. How low do you plan on going?

dude they look great. i don't see an issue with them , they don't stick out in a bad way, they look aggressive and sweet filling in the fendor perfectly.. once you add a rear bumper they will look even better. an l-sportline mayb?

Yup. I'd be curious as well.

Here is a pic of a 275/245 tire with +24 offsets.. Sorry I dont have a better pic.. This car must have major negative camber.. I am still okay with a -1.8 with a +33 rear.

Good luck with the fenders..

Niiiiice offset and niiiiiiicer wheels. Reminds me of my old set. I have +24 up front right now, but I am running stretched tires. You should run stretched tires too, there's way too much black rubber showing in your pics. Maybe after you lower your car, everything will look perfect. Good job! Welcome to the other side.
